Pizzeria Regina | Medford

This week: an epic edition of the pizza blog. For Elizabeth's birthday we went to Boston's famous Pizzeria Regina (or at least the Medford location where there is parking). We were joined by Elizabeth's Mother Trisha, Sister Dani, Aunt Dot and her wife Shirl, Sister Dani and Steve, and longtime family friends Donna and Carol.

Miro's Comments: Wow. It lives up to the history and it's reputation. I think it needs a shake or two of parmesan to reach perfection, but who cares.
Elizabeth's Comments: Better than the sum of the individual parts, but as pricey as Upper Crust?
Trish's Comments: Like the pizza, basically love the pizza in spite of the fact that it is a tad greasy. Bu it makes for luscious lips and I didn't even need lipstick. I'm obviously not fussy.
Dot's Comments: I have always loved Regina's and nothing has changed!!!
Shirl's Comments: If-a-Tony-the-Ice-A-Man were here he would a-smack a-me in-a-the-head and say "What's a matta fo you?" Mama Mia!
Dani's Comments: I want to motorboat this pizza. Could use a little more sauce, but I love Regina and I'd come here again.
Steven's Comments: Great Pizza. Needs more sauce
Donna's Comments:
Carol's Comments: Very tasty and cooked just right
